# Learn the work behind a trucking TMS

These explainers follow a load from intake to settlement, then step back to measurement and system planning. Each guide includes a practical example or checklist and links to the relevant RunaboutX workflow.

## Understand the system

- [What is a TMS in trucking?](/resources/learn/what-is-tms-in-trucking/)
- [AI TMS versus traditional TMS](/resources/learn/ai-tms-vs-traditional-tms/)
- [Human-in-the-loop AI](/resources/learn/human-in-the-loop-ai/)
- [System of record versus system of action](/resources/learn/system-of-record-vs-system-of-action/)

## Follow the load

- [Rate confirmation to load entry](/resources/learn/rate-confirmation-to-load-entry/)
- [Reduce dispatcher workload](/resources/learn/reduce-dispatcher-workload/)
- [Load-to-truck matching](/resources/learn/load-to-truck-matching/)
- [AI fleet tracking: what to test](/resources/learn/ai-fleet-tracking/)
- [Track-and-trace exceptions](/resources/learn/track-and-trace-exceptions/)
- [POD to invoice](/resources/learn/pod-to-invoice/)
- [Driver settlement workflow](/resources/learn/driver-settlement-workflow/)

## Improve the operation

- [Fleet operations metrics](/resources/learn/fleet-operations-metrics/)
- [TMS integration planning](/resources/learn/tms-integration-planning/)

Read [fleet pilot stories](/resources/case-studies/) for customer feedback, including the pilot period. Explore [AI TMS](/ai-tms/), [feature workflows](/features/), and [TMS for North American fleets](/solutions/carriers/) when you are ready to evaluate the product.

Use the [buyer's guide](/resources/guides/trucking-tms-buyers-guide/) when you are ready to compare vendors.
